  1. Deviations (NSS) per age bin from the average across age bins. Negative numbers indicate worse model performance compared to other age bins, whereas positive numbers indicate better performance compared to other age bins. Summary statistics (excluding baselines) are given in the bottom two rows (bold: p < 0.05; inferential t-tests in Supplementary Table 2, tests for contrasts between age bins in Table 4).
